Visiting the hydroelectric power station
On July 2, 2025, the youth association of UMP JSC visited the Ust-Kamenogorsk hydroelectric power station.
Representatives of the hydroelectric power station spoke in detail about the operating principles of the hydroelectric power station, emphasizing its key role in the production of renewable energy.
Ulba residents saw the impressive scale of the structures: from a dam more than 300 meters long to a machine room with powerful hydroelectric units. The weight of this colossus is hard to imagine: 1,700,000 tons! The guides explained how the energy of falling water is converted into electricity, and how this process is managed and controlled by modern systems.
One of the most memorable moments was a visit to the operation shop – the main control panel, where operators monitor all parameters of the station around the clock. The guests were shown how water flows, electricity generation and other vital indicators are monitored and regulated.
UMP and the hydroelectric power station are in the same system of NWF Samruk-Kazyna JSC, so such cooperation of young people is not surprising, and its continuation takes place.
